The best way to see how a child has grown, a uncle has aged, or a place has changed, is to be away for awhile. And so it was with our six-year absence from Bali. More motorcycles, cars, development, restaurants, guest houses, Chinese tourists, traffic, and overall prosperity. Also since then, pervasive cell phone use by just about everyone and WIFI everywhere.
That said, Bali, with its beauty, temples, and spirituality are timeless. There is something magical about waking up in this place and walking into town to take it all in. The people are unbelievably friendly. Fragrant smells, beautiful flowers, sounds of birds and insects, and art are everywhere. It's hot and muggy, and we don't want it to end.

Our neighborhood--Shanti walking in alley to our home

After nearly 36 hours of travel, we made it, and it was worth it. Having both Shanti and Skyler here for a few days makes it even more special. We haven't been together since this time last year on our Vietnam bicycle trip.
